Dredging a harbor on a Caribbean island, construction men uncover two preserved dinosaurs under the ocean floor. Once they are brought to shore, the lightning from a storm reanimates both of them (and a Neanderthal man, too). The dinosaurs terrorize the island, and in the final scene, the Tyrannosaurus is knocked into the ocean and drowned by a man fighting against him using a back hoe from the construction site. This is the French version.
